The probability that the next two offspring will both be girls is 1/3.

To find P both children are girls

A: Event that both children are girls

A: {MM} and B: {MF, FM, MM} →→ P (A ∩∩ B) = {MM}

Probability that both are males, if we know one is a female =P(A/B)=P(A∩B)/P(B)

(P(A∩B)P(B))

Given S = {MM, MF, FM, FF}, we can see that: P (A) = 1414; P (B) = 3434; P (A ∩∩ B) = 1414

Therefore,

P(B/A)=P(A∩B)/P(A) = (1/4)/(3/4)=1/3.

Alex and payton each have a favorite pancake recipe. Alexs recipe uses 7 1/2 cups of flour for 5 batches, paytons recipe uses 3/
Elina [12.6K]

Answer:

9/4z cups

Step-by-step explanation:

Alex recipe uses 7 1/2 cups of flour for 5 batches

Cups of flour per batch = 7 1/2 cups ÷ 5 batches

= 15/2 ÷ 5

= 15/2 × 1/5

= (15*1)/(2*5)

= 15/10

Alex recipe per batch= 3/2 cups of flour per batch

paytons recipe uses 3/4 cup of flour more per batch than alexs recipe

Payton's recipe per batch = Alex recipe per batch + 3/4 cups

= 3/2 + 3/4

= (6+3)/4

= 9/4 cups of flour

Payton's recipe per batch = 9/4 cups of flour

What expression can be used to determine the number of cups of flour used to make z batches of paytons pancake recipe

Payton's recipe for z batches = Payton's recipe per batch * number of batches

= 9/4 cups * z batches

= 9/4z cups

Payton's recipe for z batches = 9/4z cups

F(x)=2x^2-5x+4 find f(-4) how do i do that?
Mars2501 [29]

Answer:

f(4)=2(x)^2-5(4)+4

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) is basically just y, but it is also telling you what the value of x is. So if f(4) then that means that x is 4, so you can just replace x with 4 and simplify. Hope this helps :)
